Bill > SB1462

This bill modifies the Virginia Board of Education's high school graduation requirements by allowing students to substitute the African American History course or Advanced Placement African American Studies course for either the World History I or World Geography course when fulfilling history and social studies credit requirements. The substitution is contingent upon the specific African American History or Advanced Placement African American Studies course being available to the student. This provision expands students' options for meeting social studies graduation credits by providing an alternative course that focuses on African American history, potentially offering students a more diverse and inclusive educational experience. The bill aims to give students more flexibility in their course selections while ensuring they still meet the core requirements for social studies credits necessary for high school graduation in Virginia.
